Konfessions of an Elizabethan Fan Dancer / Nichol, bp ; Cobbing B., 1973

 Item
Identifier: CC-57658-10000925
Scope and Contents

bp Nichol dedicated this book "to Bob Cobbing who took that chance of first publishing me thank you." The paper slip contains the following: "KONFESSIONS OF AN ELIZABETHAN FAN DANCER is a collection of bp Nichol's "borderblur" pieces from the period 1964-1966. It includes some previously unpublished material. It is ironical that Nichol's work of this perid, upon which his earlier reputation was based, has not previously been published in book form in Canada. KONFESSIONS fills the gap." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
